Only Disney resort buses can drop guests at the Magic Kingdom gate. All other transportation drops you at the TTC. From the TTC, you take the ferry or the monorail to MK. Uber will gladly drop you at the TTC.

- Tap "Payment" in the app, and then "PayPal"
- Follow the prompts to confirm you'd like to use PayPal and login to your account
- Select PayPal as your payment method before you request your next trip

But, as warned, the conversion rate is rubbish.

If you could be more specific - building name and/or zip codes you can estimate journeys here: uber/cities/orlando

You will but you'll have to manually find one online - Uber don't present a code to you for nothing upon downloading the app. If you want to use my affiliate code, it's here: w. ORL2G gets $20 off your first ride with an expiration date of 01/01/2016 although you can find bigger discounts online (but as most Orlando journeys are below $20, they're not always necessary).

thanks 66Caunce, thats not what I meant though - someone earlier in the thread mentioned you could select on paypal "pay in local currency" or something like that? But I can't see any option on my paypal account to do that?

Should I just change my method of payment on my Uber account to debit card instead?

Its on the Huffington post (I would post it but being new I cant post links )

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Cheers

Uber's position is still 'you don't have to tip' however, "drivers for the ride-hailing service are petitioning Uber to allow for cashless tipping by including an in-app gratuity feature."

I've never used PayPal so no idea on that one, I'm afraid. I've just heard bad things about the exchange rate and general issues with invalidating protection if using credit cards, etc. Wouldn't touch PayPal with a bargepole here in the UK, never mind abroad (but that's my personal opinion).

Thank you - and there's no charge to do that?

Only the normal charge of delivering you from A to B.

Many thanks for that.
